Great thoughts, Mark.
You asked why anybody would choose to use Google Chrome, and that's a great question.
I would much prefer to remain in the Apple arena--it just makes a ton of sense to do so since I live my life on Mac, iPad, and iPhone--but sadly the platforms on which I teach most frequently are old dogs when I access them via Safari and thoroughbred race horses when I use Chrome.
Still, you've intrigued me and I'm going to start using Safari more to see if I can live more in that system while only using Chrome when I absolutely must.
You've done us a great service! Thank you.
Onward...
Guy
